Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box ( lemmy.world ) Englisch

Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So, eth0, eth1, wlan0, and wwan0 are all possible interface names. This, however,...

NaoPb ,

I actually prefer the eth0 and wlan0.

NaoPb ,

And if you're talking about all of those in general, it's just Linux.

NaoPb ,

Because it's being pedantic and it's being wrong. And that's annoying.

Software is not named by the compiler used or the tools included in the end package.

NaoPb ,

Don't you confuse people with your open os'es by calling them free. No charge is the only real free.

NaoPb ,

I'm just running Linux. Or for the Linux people it's KDE Plasma. Or Ubuntu with LXDE. Or degoogled Android. Or whatever, these are examples.

NaoPb ,

I didn't know there was a mailman living in my computer screen.

NaoPb ,

I am wondering how many people give up because their exact program isn't on there.

I get having to use Adobe software if you are an industry professional, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who don't want to change because qbittorrent is not the same as utorrent. Or peazip is different than 7zip.

NaoPb ,

I haven't seen utorrent on linux or 7zip with the gui integration like it has in windows. That was my example.

NaoPb ,

Sounds familiar

NaoPb ,

Forced updates are still terrible.

    Free beer is the best kind of free.

    NaoPb ,

    Don't forget the "actually, it's GNU/Linux" nerds

    NaoPb ,

    Have you tried Trinity instead of LXDE?

    With Q4OS for example.

    NaoPb ,

    I honestly don't know about that.

    Can you maybe recommend something that is similar but might be still updated? I really like how KDE used to look back then but I missed out on it.
    The way most new desktops copy the flat look of Windows and Mac OS annoys me. I want the details back and like my window has sides and shadows.

    NaoPb ,

    Thanks for reminding me about LXQt. Back then it didn't really have all the features that LXDE used to have, but it does seem to have matured a bit.

    NaoPb ,

    Glad to read we are thinking alike about these things.

    I see there are some nice themes at the place you've linked. If those work with KDE Plasma, that would certainly be interesting to give a try.

    I'll have a look at that.

    NaoPb ,

    That's how I feel installing 5+ apps to modify Windows until it works like it did in Windows XP.

    NaoPb ,

    Nice. Thanks for sharing!

    NaoPb ,

    Not really a solution but couldn't you have come up with a script to run after each update?

    NaoPb ,

    Ah yes. MicroCanonicalSoft. Ubuntu used to be great. But they are working hard to ruin it.

    I am currently looking for an alternative that has a similar allround-ish support for hardware. Ubuntu supports my Macbook and my Acer Tablet out of the box while others do not competely do so. I could write a whole rant about the tablet with 64-bit processor but 32-bit eufi bios and intel processor that kinda obscures access to the audio and wifi devices unless you use a specific driver.

    I'd prefer something debian based but I can't stand flicking in video playback or scrolling through a webpage. Which is why I like Wayland at the moment, since it fixes those things.

    NaoPb ,

    I feel your pain. Flatpack can really ruin partitioning strategies.
